It begins to tell, 'Round midnight, midnight. I do pretty well, till after sundown, Suppertime I'm feelin' sad; But it really gets bad, 'Round midnight.
Memories always start 'round midnight. Haven't got the heart to stand those memories, When my heart is still with you, And ol' midnight knows it, too. When a quarrel we had needs mending, Does it mean that our love is ending? Darlin' I need you, lately I find You're out of my heart, And I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings, 'Round midnight, midnight Let the angels sing, For your returning. Till our love is safe and sound. And old midnight comes around. Feelin' sad, Really gets bad Round, Round, Round Midnight
Verses by Jon Hendricks on the album Carmen Sings Monk
A pale and lonely moon Lights the sky in the dark Before the dawn I sit here in my room how I sigh For the day that's come and gone Another lonely day passes by And a new day's coming on At midnight
Tears I've shed today Will pause waiting until tomorrow Dreams of what could become close to me Timidly There's a brand new day in sight At that time 'round midnight
Life's a game of chance And you're one of the minor players Look for what you love The day to come harbours some Let your spirit stop the fight At that time 'round midnight
Every day's gonna bring some sadness Every day's gonna bring some gladness So take what you can of the glad times Don't measure your pleasure in nickels and dines
You better look back on the day And you'll know when you've been unhappy Fears don't chased away just mighty might have the day Let your eyes put out their light At that time round midnight
I'll think no more about today For in a while this old day will be yesterday Alone at midnight here in my room I sit here in the gloom And let my dreams take flight 'Round 'bout midnight
